It's just gone in for painting inside after Chris spending 3 days prepping it!! LOL.

More pics just after the weekend hopefully. Then it will be all systems go to get it back together.

Might see if I can convince Beccy to let me take a video of her trying to get in the drivers seat (with a bikini on) AFPMSL.

Ikeya Formula Sequential Shifter. It has a ratchet mechanism that converts your conventional gearshift to an up/down Sequential operation.

Why dont they do one for an RST!!

Just so you get an idea of how much I like this car, if I was given the choice of this or the Norris Evo 9 Green Snot, I would chose Gary's car . The quality of the work gone into this is just off the scale .

LOVE IT!

this replaces the front lower cradle


this replaces the big cast rear diff mount and also removes the front rubber bushes to make it rigid to subframe


also i trial fitted a rear carbon defuser ive bought s/h,this needs a bit of repairing so ill get some pics later

Looks good guys

3M do some excellent adhesive called 9323BA - it's what we used to use to bond the roll hoops to the chassis' in F1 cars

Readily available through your local 3M dealer for about £40...



Quick question as i can't remember from reading through, but what gearbox are you on Gary?

Please tell me you're on something with dog engagement? Glebe? Hollinger?


If not - i hate to be the one to tell you, but that shifter will smash your synchros to pieces quicksharp

That aside - keep up the good work
